First UK editions, first impressions; 3 vols, 8vo; light offsetting to endpapers, else unmarked internally; publisher's green cloth, gilt lettering to spines, slight bumping to spine ends and corners of vols I and II, light marks to upper cover of vol III, with the unclipped dust-jackets, slight sunning to spine and front panel of vol I; a near-fine set. misc23 A very pleasing near-fine set of the Austrian writer's masterpiece. The Man Without Qualities has been described as 'one of the most prestigious novels of the 20th century. Some novelists excel at giving the reader the emotional feel of a character's mind (Dickens), others at the sensuous feel of a character's mind (Flaubert). Musil is wonderful at both' (Smiley).
